The written test is an aptitude examination designed to test your general intelligence and basic
understanding of Mathematics, Applied Sciences / Engineering and Analytical/logical thinking. This written
test is like GRE Engineering. To help you in preparing for the written test, a brief outline of this test is presented
below. Some of the questions may require numerical calculations,so you must bring your own calculator.
IT MAY BE NOTED THAT WRITING TABLES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING THE WRITTEN TEST. THEREFORE,
ALL CANDIDATES ARE ADVISED TO BRING THEIR OWN WRITING CLIP BOARDS FOR THEIR CONVENIENCE
DURING THE WRITTEN TEST.
The instructions sheet that will accompany the actual written test is attached. Read these instructions
carefully now to save time during the examination. In order to give you an idea of the nature of the written
test, some representative questions are also enclosed.
The question paper is divided into two parts i.e. Part (A) and (B). There will be 50 questions in Part (A) and 50
Questions in Part (B). Part (A) is the general part to be attempted by all the candidates whereas Part (B) is
thesubject part having subject papers. Only the subject paper relevant to the candidate’s academic
background may be attempted by the candidate. The candidate should mention the subject paper he/she
is attempting by filling the appropriate section of the answer sheet.The maximum time allowed is 3 hours.
1) General Part:
